NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 158 His energy, you can't imagine
After the group stage, the rest of the schedule was no different from the group stage. The Tianchao men's basketball team still swept all the way and directly reached the final.

This year's final opponent is the Bangzi team.

To be able to reach the finals, of course there is something, but unfortunately, in front of the Great Wall of China, their strength is still not enough.

117:61, another bloody massacre.

A total of eight games have been played, and there has never been a game with a net difference of less than fifty points.

Kong Bu finally got what he wanted, allowing the world to see the power of the Great Wall for the first time.

This may be the least suspenseful session in the history of the Asian Championships. With a top coach like Kongbu leading the team and super giants like Big Zhi and Bus in the team, we already know it before the game starts. Belonging to the champion.

In fact, Kongbu didn't think much of the champion of the Asian Championships. The reason why he had to run to lead the team was mainly because he wanted to avenge the Chinese men's basketball team for 97 years.

Of course, even if Kumbu doesn't come, Dazhi and Daba can just come and win the championship easily.

But it certainly won't be such a brutal and bloody opponent like now.

With less than half a month's schedule to go, Da Zhi and the others played extremely relaxed, not as if they were here to play a game, but more like a vacation during the offseason.

The Raptors still have a lot of work to do, and Combe is not going to return home, so he has to fly directly back to Toronto.

Before leaving, Kong Bu specially invited the generals to have a meal and have a good chat with them.

"Yao, before you are ready to enter the NBA, you'd better study Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hook and Olajuwon's footwork at the basket."

"The NBA is no more than the CBA. The physical confrontation is much more intense. If you don't want to go head-to-head with the big meat shield on the opposite side, it is necessary to learn the hook and the footwork at the basket."

"If you can't find the training video or game video of those two people, I will find someone to collect it when I go back and send it to you."

Yao Ming has a very special place in Comb's mind. He not only wants Yao Ming to enter the league as the No. get it.

Speaking of which, Yao Ming's learning talent is really good. He has learned skyhook and fantasy dance steps. Although he certainly can't reach the level of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Dameng, he must be at least [-]% to [-]% of the level.

Especially the small hook, which is Yao Ming's unsolvable offensive method. As long as he gets the ball sideways, he can directly ignore the defense and shoot.

Right now, there are a lot of inside defenders in the league. If Yao Ming just entered the league, he would make small hooks and become very threatening on the offensive end.

Yao Ming nodded solemnly, feeling extremely grateful to Kong Bu.

"Dayao, why do I feel that the coach seems to be more optimistic about you?"

"I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment with the bus before, and I even collect videos for you."

Da Zhi joked on the side.

"Dayao, when are you going to participate in the draft?"

"Big Zhi got a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I can't sleep even thinking about it. The little brother who used to follow behind us is now a local rich man."

"It is estimated that the bus will earn hundreds of millions in two years."

Hu Weidong smacked his lips, expressing his envy.

His salary is actually not low in CBA, hundreds of thousands a year.

It's a pity that the difference with Da Zhi is too much. Da Zhi can earn 20 million Tianchao coins a year, even if Hu Weidong plays for [-] years, he can't earn so much.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."

"But when I have no opponents in the CBA, I think I should be able to participate in the draft."

Yao Ming scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"By the way, Lao Hu, while Director Kong is here, why don't you go through the back door of Director Kong and go to the NBA for a while."

"A few years ago we went to the United States to play their summer league. I remember that Kobe didn't score as much as you in that game."

"Now that Kobe is an All-Star, our old Hu may also be selected as an All-Star. As long as he is an All-Star, it is not a problem to make him a few hundred million."

Sun Jun, who has a good relationship with Hu Weidong, booed.

Kumbu was also said to be amused. Hu Weidong did play against Kobe, and he did score more points than Kobe.

But that was Kobe in his rookie period. At that time, Kobe was just 18 years old, and Hu Weidong was in his golden peak at 26 years old.

To say that Hu Weidong can be selected as an All-Star after entering the NBA is definitely exaggerating.

But if you want to go to the NBA to play as a rotation substitute, there is really no problem, he really has such strength.

It's a pity that I'm too old, and I'm almost thirty now.

Going to the NBA at such an age is a bit outrageous, and no team is willing to want it.

When mentioning Northeast basketball in this era, one would think of Tiger King Sun Jun.

Shandong Basketball is Xiaoyao Wang Gong Xiaobin.

Jiangsu basketball is Hu Yaqiao, also known as Hu Weidong.

Ya Qiao, Asian Jordan, this is the nickname given to Hu Weidong by the South Korean commentator.

In fact, these three people all have the strength to enter the NBA. If they are lucky, they have the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

Sometimes being able to play in the NBA really requires a certain amount of luck.

For example, the coach gave you a chance to play more time in a few games. If you are lucky enough, you played a good performance in the limited time and won the trust of the coach.

After that day, as long as you don't suddenly become very hip, you can actually get along in the NBA.

If you are unlucky, you can't score no matter how many shots you make on the court, or your opponent hits the fairy ball Yangshou ball in various ways, then there is no way.

For example, Nash belongs to the unlucky kind. He managed to get to the pure starting position. As a result, he played the worst season of his entire career and was immediately traded by the old Nelson.

"I'll forget it, who wants to have it at this age."

Hu Weidong waved his hands quickly, he was of course moved, who can refuse the temptation of living for a year without worrying about food and clothing, but unfortunately he knew that this was impossible.

"Actually, it's not that no team is willing to ask for it."

"Many teams are poor and want to compete for the No. [-] pick. They don't care about the record at all."

"Old Hu, if you have an idea in this regard, I can help you operate it."

"But it's not my team, our roster is already full for this year."

Kong Bu said this very confidently. He now has a lot of contacts in the NBA, and it is not a problem at all to find Hu Weidong a next home.

For example, the Grizzlies, a weak team like them, has a bad record every year, and whoever is signed is not a sign.

The key point is that Hu Weidong is not saying that he has no combat power at all. The Grizzlies got Dixon from the Rockets. Hu Weidong must not be able to compete with Dixon, but it is more than enough to be a substitute for the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies' backup shooting guard is Doug West, who is 33 years old and older than Hu Weidong.

What Kong Bu said directly made Hu Weidong's eyes pop out. He didn't expect that Kong Bu could even do this kind of thing.

"But the salary is definitely not much, and those teams are generally not willing to spend money."

"Probably just over a million."

"Dollars."

With Hu Weidong in such a situation, even if Kong Bu provided guarantee, it would definitely be impossible to get a big contract.

An annual salary of one million yuan should be the limit.

And it is impossible to sign a long-term contract, at most two years.

Hu Weidong's breathing began to become short of breath, more than 100 million US dollars?Isn't that 1000 million Celestial coins?

The annual salary of 1000 million Chinese coins is not too unusual in the CBA 20 years later, at least Yi Jianlian can get it.

But in the current era, Hu Weidong dare not even dream about it.

"Is it really possible? Director Kong."

"If you can play for two years, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life."

Hu Weidong's voice began to tremble.

"It must be no problem, how about it, you go back to China and wait for the news."

"After I contact you, the team that signed you will contact you."

Kumbu didn't think it was difficult at all, it was really easy.

"Old Hu, congratulations."

"If someone says they can get you into the NBA, it must be bragging."

"But our coach said this, you just keep your heart in your stomach, his energy is beyond your imagination."

"Let me just say this, any team in the league, if he wants, he can put you in it."

"Even our Knicks are no exception. Our general manager and coach have a deadly friendship."

"Don't say you're an old Hu, one of us present counts as one, as long as the coach nods, we can all play in the NBA."

Da Zhi didn't know if he had drunk too much, so he started to catch Kong Bu and blew violently.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Kongbu with eager eyes. There was no way, as a basketball player, being able to play in the NBA was indeed the ultimate dream.

Kong Bu wanted to cover Dazhi's mouth, he dared to brag about anything.

The reason why he is willing to help Lao Hu is because he is indeed capable, and he also has connections with the NBA.

Last season, the Mavericks under the leadership of Nelson offered Hu Weidong a short ten-day contract. Unfortunately, Hu Weidong was injured at the time and did not go.

Then in the new season that is about to start, the Orlando Magic also offered Hu Weidong a short contract of ten days, but he was injured again and failed to go.

Kong Bu simply got him a guarantee contract, and he didn't have to worry about getting hurt if he stayed there.

In other words, Hu Weidong had a chance to enter the NBA, and he had more than one chance.

To be reasonable, the players that Nelson can fancy and are willing to give a chance to, how bad can they be?
And players like Fan Bin don't have the strength to play in the NBA at all.

Of course, if it is a young man in his late teens who is sent to the NBA for training, then maybe Kumbu will help.

But now they are all veterans, and they can't experience anything. It doesn't make any sense to send them to the NBA.

"Ahem, you're bragging that you don't pay taxes. If I really have that much energy, I'll just squeeze Stern out and I'll be the president."

"Some time ago, the general manager of the Grizzlies asked me to recommend a suitable backup shooting guard for them. Lao Hu was lucky and happened to meet him."

Kong Bu coughed twice, and lied to dispel everyone's thoughts.

After eating a meal for nearly two hours, Hu Weidong has been out of his mind, probably dreaming about his next NBA career.

That evening, Combe flew back to Toronto.

As soon as he got off the plane, he called Sha Lun and asked him to notify this year's rookies and report to the team a week later.

It is the end of August now, the preseason will start in early October, and the new season will start in mid-October.

These rookies still have a little more than a month of training time, exactly two and a half years.

"By the way, Kong, we will open a new arena in the new season, and there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at that time, and you need to attend it."

The Raptors have not only won the championship in the past two seasons, but there are also many Superman balloon stars in the team, which has also led to the team's popularity and high attendance.

It's a pity that the number of seats in the old arena is too small. Even if the attendance rate is high, it still doesn't make much money.

Fortunately, the new arena will be opened next season, with [-] more seats than the original old arena, and the Raptors' profitability will definitely increase by a large margin.

"Don't go."

"Is there any mistake? I am the head coach, not a contractor. What does the arena have to do with me?"

"There are countless things that I have to be busy with. There are so many newcomers in the team, so I can't just leave it alone."

Ever since his popularity and influence increased, Kumbu was also very annoying, and some bad things could always be found on his head.

For example, some public welfare activities, going to the hospital to visit sick children, this kind of thing is usually done by the players, but Sha Lun didn't know what to think, so he put Kong Bu on the visit list if he had nothing to do.

It's not that Kongbu is unkind, but do those children really want to see Kongbu?What they want to watch are NBA stars, not the coach Combu.

"By the way, there is one more thing that I almost forgot to tell you."

"Rick found a new job, he was invited by the Grizzlies to be the head coach."

Sha Lun may be old, so he said such an important thing now.

Kung Bu was stunned, and old Ma Hong had achieved a positive result.

At the beginning, he was willing to come to the Raptors as a thug, and the condition he put forward was to enter the coaching staff of Kumbu. He probably didn't expect that after only one year as an assistant coach, he would take the position of the coach of the first team.

This is a good thing, the second direct coach under Kong Bu's command has appeared.

It would be no problem for Lao Hu to play with the Grizzlies. He said hello to Lao Ma Hong and took care of Lao Hu more often.

"What about Little Mike? No team contacted him?"

Kumbu thought of Ma Long, and I don't know if this guy has found a next home.

"No, God, he's only 26 years old, what kind of crazy team would ask him to be the head coach."

Silly muttered.

Kongbu complained that he had already led the Raptors to win the championship when he was 28 years old, and he was not much older than Malone.

……

On August 8, the Raptors' new training ground.

In front of Kumbu stood five rookie players, Beard, Maggette, Marion, Lagabel and Nash.

Nash cannot be said to be a rookie. After all, he was a rookie in 96, and now he is already in the fourth grade.

"Guys, this is the time of the season that I enjoy the most."

"I enjoyed the first meeting with the newcomers in the team, because this is the starting point for me to witness your rise."

"In the first two seasons, I will tell the rookies that each of them will become an All-Star player."

"There is no need for this this year. Even if I don't say it, you must know it."

Even if Kongbu didn't pour chicken soup, the five people in front of him felt full of strength, and being favored by Kongbu was a manifestation of strength.

Let the five go to the training ground for free training first, and Kong Bu sat on the sidelines to check the attributes of the five.

Maggette's attributes are very extreme. His shooting-related attributes are too poor to be seen, but his breakthrough attribute is very good. Even without special training, he already has [-] points.

The defensive related attributes are a bit poor, which is expected by Kumbu.

Because even Maggette in his prime couldn't be said to be very good defensively.

If he plays inside, his muscles can play a role on the defensive end, but unless he is facing players who like to play high backs, the muscles will have limited effect.

Marion's attributes are very average. The only shortcoming is his weak three-point ability. However, his style of play does not have a great impact on whether he has three-pointers.

Bell's three-point and perimeter defensive attributes are outstanding, while Beard is similar to Marion, with relatively average attributes.

Nash's attributes were more than what Combu expected. He thought that after playing for three years, Nash had already entered his peak period, but he did not expect that his assist attribute was only 83 points.

The attributes related to shooting are around [-] points. No wonder he played so badly last season.

It seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

It is a good thing to have room for improvement, at least Kumbu's training area can come in handy.
